About me

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Angel, and I’ve always had a love of storytelling for as long as I can remember. Whether it be in comics, cartoons, anime, or video games, I love getting invested in a character’s journey and experiencing all their highs and lows with them. And now it gives me no end of joy and fulfillment to be able to tell those stories alongside my players! I love crafting characters and worlds with my players, then exploring their arcs and mysteries that push those characters to make meaningful and hard decisions. Most important to me is the fun and memorable moments made during those adventures. There are moments in the games that I have run with the players in my community that live in my memory so vividly, fights and arguments that feel real, and grief over fictional characters that stings as if they really existed. These are the moments I look for and try to create and bring me so much joy when my players and I can look back and discuss those moments even long after those campaigns have been completed. I’m very fortunate to found the community I have, with players that celebrate the games we play and the characters we all make, and I would be honored if you decided to join it as well!

Hex is by far the best GM I've ever had. He constantly makes me cry through emotional scenes while terrifying me at the same time. Hex is wonderfully inclusive and enjoys helping people explore the stories they want to explore! He describes things in a way that draw you in and make you want to keep playing more and more! If you ever have a chance to play in any of his sessions, do it. He's such a wonderful person and a hyper creative gm! You'll never go wrong with a Hex game!

Angel is an excellent GM for anyone looking to dip their toes into the hobby. My experience with his Masks game truly felt like it was being crafted by someone who really enjoys the source material and he was a true fan of everyone's characters allowing everyone to grow and shine

Hex is able to make any and every character idea and playbook work in the game while also making sure any and every player has a chance to shine as an important part of the story, constantly bringing in parts of everyone’s backstory so the world is fully connected, while also making a story that feels like it was pulled right out of one of the best comic books you’ll ever read!

I would say Hex is one of the better Fungeon Master I have found, easy to work with, easy to roll with (Dice wise), kinda cute.

Character creation
Creating your character

Together during session zero I help every player flesh out their characters and everyone gets to pitch each other ideas for creating team dynamics everyone can get invested in and excited about. You're more than welcome to come up with some ideas before and I'm always working with players between sessions to flesh out their characters, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have ideas!

The current party

Team is ready for new members to slide in seamlessly! So for we have a Janus on parole, a newborn that is a stray piece of Clayface that gained sentience, the Protégé of Black canary, and a Scion that is the child of the Penguin. This game limits playbooks to fit the street level setting, the ones still available are: Bull Beacon Delinquent Transformed Joined Reformed

What to expect
Preparing for the session

A discord account (free) and a decent microphone are needed for this game, along with access to Google Sheets/Drive (free). Web cams are not necessary. Players will also need to join the Discord server which you will be invited to. Getting comfy with the system is great but not necessary as Masks is an easy system to pick up and learn and I'm happy to teach along the way!

What Angel brings to the table

I'll be providing a Discord server for us to play the game, a character keeper through Google Sheets, and access to all the official Masks setting books and playbooks. You'll also get to join a community of excited players with loves of different fandoms! I also bring a deep appreciation for comic books and superheroes and a passion for getting invested in my players' characters.

How Angel creates a safe table

- No knowledge of Batman lore or DC comics is necessary to enjoy this game! - There will be a Session 0 where we will create and flesh out characters, establish lines and veils, and discuss our expectations for the game to so that every players' interests can be incorporated into the game - After every session we'll do Stars and Wishes as I like to make sure everyone and their wants for the game are heard - I Frequently check in with players to make sure I'm handling their characters properly and to see if anything needs to be adjusted. - I also frequently remind all players of the tools they have such as the X-card, I'm always happy to change things even on the spot so everyone is comfortable.
